Where Does Henry's Handball Rank?

For those of you that missed it, Thierry Henry's handball against Ireland on Wednesday will go down in history as one of the most obvious incidents of foul play. For every Miracle on Ice, there are moments like Wednesday's that are notorious for being controversial.
But where does it rank among sports' biggest cheats ever? There's some pretty distinguished company when you think about it...
-Diego Maradona and the Hand of God:

-Bill Belicheck spying on the St. Louis Rams' practice before the 2001 Super Bowl
-Rosie Ruiz, who faked winning the 1980 Boston Marathon:

-Spain's 2000 Paralympic basketball team winning the gold medal, when later tests proved that 10 of the 12 players weren't mentally disabled!



The list goes on. Comment and let me know what you thought of Henry's handball and where it ranks.
